Remember when your mother used to run after you so that you drink at least 2 glasses of milk every day? Well, she wanted you to grow stronger each day. In 2001, the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) selected June 1st as World Milk Day, to celebrate the important contributions of the dairy sector to sustainability, economic development, livelihoods and nutrition. To incorporate this healthy habit of drinking milk, the Global Dairy Platform is coordinating global celebrations on June 1, 2018.
The day has originated in order to raise awareness of how important milk is for healthy nutrition. If you haven’t thought about the various benefits of milk yet, we suggest sit down and take a look at everything milk does for your body that you didn’t know.
1. Helps in weight loss
Milk is actually one of the tastiest things which help in weight loss rather than harming us. Even studies have proven that women who drink milk daily are more likely to lose weight than women who do not drink milk.
2. Reduces Stress
Yes, you heard it right! Drinking milk can actually work as a stress reliever, thanks to all the vitamins and minerals in it. Next times you get stressed about something, you know what to do.
3. Say Bye to PMS Symptoms
As we already told you that milk works as a stress reliever, it also relaxes your body in that time of the months. So now you don’t have to worry much about those menstrual cramps.
4. Soothes the heat in Stomach
We can’t help but eat all the yummy spicy junk food but it often makes us uneasy by releasing toxins and acids in our stomach. Next time rather than popping a pill, drink a glass of milk and see the magic unfold.
